Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: Who is doing the work of the kingdom? Organizations have sprung up in incredible numbers to evangelize and help Christians grow. These ministries are not under the authority or control of the local church. This raises some important questions: Are they biblical? Should they be under the authority of a local church? Do they drain leadership from the church? Are they doctrinally weak? Are they antichurch? Are churches insentitive to their task? Are churches getting the job done or are they crippled by tradition? Are churchs a stumbling block to God's work? Can church and parachurch live and thrive together? Jerry White responds to these and many other concerns in his search for answers to the question, "Who is doing the work of the kingdom?" This carefully researched volume gives a theological and historical perspective, assesses where we are, and offers recommendations for solving the problems and issues. It provides a handbook for churches and those participating in para-local church groups, as well as suggesting reasons for the proliferation of such groups. The books has a bibliography along with Scripture and subject indexes.--Front flap of dust jacket.
